I met a great group of people today at the Book Fair in Aurora. I also sold fifteen books today, and I'm not angry about that. If you couldn't make it today, but want a signed copy, hit me up at ryanlamantia.com.

Never thought I'd have a book with 1,000+ ratings. Well, now I do, and I'm so grateful for every single person who's taken the time to read and rate it. This gives me so much hope for the future. I have so many more stories to tell.

Authors...have you been getting all of your reviews? It makes me wonder how many reviews I've gotten that I knew nothing about.

Know a reader? Readers always appreciate a good book, especially when it’s gifted with heart. I’ve written a few myself: emotionally charged contemporary fiction and gripping thrillers that make perfect stocking stuffers. Explore the stories and grab your copies at ryanlamantia.com.
